So, you have portraits and close up shots, group shots and building shots, landscapes and large group shots, and now we get to the biggest of them all: panoramas!
Landscapes focus on the subject matter; whereas panoramas focus on the size and vastness of the subject. Especially large objects such as bridges, seascapes, skylines, and waterfalls naturally associate best with far larger portraits such as panoramas.
Unlike normal photography, panoramas are especially long in one direction and narrow in the other, 3 1/2"x10" is one of the most common sizes.
Keep the horizon as level as possible, and as near to the center as possible to avoid awkward bends in the photograph after you have taken the shot. Also, since this style is a masked shot, make sure you remove any of the extraneous material from the viewfinder before you take the photograph.
Another form of panorama photography is known as assemblage. What assemblage is is a collection of pictures that overlap slightly to show the entirety of the scene around you. Just turn yourself and your camera around while you remain in the same position, and take a series of photographs completely around, keeping the horizon level.
Typically, assemblage panoramas are taken with as little as two, and as most as twenty photographs. Also, they do not all have to be horizontal. Take a couple vertically instead, that does add some very interesting formations to the total photographic experience.
Panoramas are amazing photographs. And the first step to taking them is getting to the location in the first place. Let's get you booked for just that first step at www.kingarthur.myttn.com today!
